Pilot Shortage (2015 OSU Summit)
 

The regional airline industry still can't seem to fix the problem of attracting enough pilots to fill the low paying, entry-level new hire pilot positions.

Let's have another summit to discuss these issues!

This should help find solutions to fix the problem. Not!

I wonder how many PSA managers will be there? (I graduated OSU in 2010 and a ton of alumni went there)

At least this time they invited all sides of the coin to participate as opposed to the ERAU summit. Gotta give them credit for that.

I hope they don't go in that summit and try to convince a bunch of students there's a shortage of pilots; instead a shortage of pilots willing to work under crap contracts.

Another sh*^t show, pay more and give me the respect that we deserve, glad to see the community reaction against this....

Pure speculation on my part, but I bet Ohio State is trying ascertain whether or not its viable to continue offering flight training and aviation related degrees. Whereas Embry Riddle is one suited in that its primary focus is educating aviation professionals, both seminars are self serving in that one needs to bolster enrollment while the other may abandon the insdustry all together in favor of redploying its efforts and capital towards its other colleges (medicine, law, business, agriculture).

How many other degree-granting schools have closed up their 2 or 4 year flight training programs over the last several years?

I know St. Cloud State in MN ended last year, and Daniel Webster College in NH was finished a few years ago. What others used to be out there that no longer have active flight operations?

Which "respect" do you deserve?

I like to think of it as dignity rather than respect. At the regionals...pilots aren't treated with the dignity they deserve.

University of Illinois (Champaign) shut theirs down two and a half years ago.
